Pasadena Mortgage Rates Report: August 15, 2008
| Pasadena Mortgage rates were stable this week. ARM rates went up and the fixed rate mortgage rates are the same as they were Monday. I mentioned that traders felt “stuck in the middle” of conflicting data. Core inflation is rising but oil prices are falling like a rock off a cliff. I’m as confused as the mortgage bond traders so I’m taking this opportunity to lock rates for loans closing within 30 days.

Why? I think the rising ARM rates suggest that traders believe, in their hearts, that the Fed will tighten before Thanksgiving. I’m more about mitigating risk rather than pouncing on opportunity so when I’m confused, I lock mortgage rates. Maybe the descent in oil prices will continue and mortgage rates decline further but “I ain’t seeing it” from my ivory tower.
